TRYPHORGETIN

A new product from DNC Pharmaceuticals

We will NEVER forget.

Here is the famous commercial Budweiser produced after 9/11. They aired it only once, at the Super bowl in January of '02, so as not to benefit financially from it. They just wanted to acknowledge the tragic event.

New Preamble to The Constitution

The famed "Bill of No Rights" was written in 1993 by Lewis Napper, a self-described amateur philosopher and from Mississippi who ran for a U.S. Senate seat in 2000 as a Libertarian (Not State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA).

I don't agree with all of Libertarian platform, but more and more Libertarians are stepping up to the plate where Republicans are afraid to get into (I certaily don't expect a Liberal/Progressive to say any of this).

"We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other conservative bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights."

ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.

ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.

ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes . Get an education and go to work....don't expect everyone else to take care of you.

ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.

ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.

ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.

ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job.. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.

ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from!

ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!

Your IQ score is...

I just took The Classic IQ Test and scored 138

According to the score My Intellectual Type is Visionary Philosopher. This means I am highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, my exceptional math and verbal skills make me very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns.


According to this chart, I fall in the 99th percentile of the population. Nice!
But as far as rarity, 1 in every 177 people has IQ 138 or more. I guess I am not one of those one in a million geniuses

The Mensa entrance limit is 130.81 (98th percentile), may be I should see if I qualify with the real test.. :)

But the most interesting of all was this chart:

Watch out for my rolling head

From a Bangladeshi blog, here’s the dreaded cartoon of blasphemy—it’s the Meow-hammed cat!

Sure is tough to be a cartoonist lately. The government of Bangladesh has ordered the arrest of another cartoonist for publishing a "blasphemous" caricature of the Prophet Muhammad.

Muslim mobs publicly torched the paper, and, of course, you have the required protests. The angry Muslims want "exemplary punishment" for the cartoonist and the paper's editor.

It's totally innocuous. Too bad we can't say the same thing about radical Islamists.



Translation:

* Boy, what is your name?
- My name is Babu.
* It is customary to mention Muhammed before the name.

* What is your father’s name?
- Muhammed Abu

* What’s this in your lap?
- Muhammed cat

Why were you fired from your last job?

I used to work in a dairy. I got fired for getting in the whey.

I lost my job at the massage parlor. I rubbed people the wrong way.

I wanted to get a job as a gynecologist, but I couldn't find an opening.

I was working in an orange juice factory, but I couldn't concentrate.

I tried to be a chef. I imagined it would add a little spice to my life. But I didn't have the thyme.

I once was a tailor, but I wasn't suited for it. It was a so-so job.

I worked at Starbucks, but it was the same old grind.

I tried working in a muffler factory, but that was too exhausting.

I tried to work at a deli, but no matter how I sliced it, I couldn't cut the mustard.

I worked for a plumber, but that work was too draining.

I even worked as a lumberjack, but I couldn't hack it. So they gave me the ax.

I tried to work in a shoe factory, but I couldn't fit in.

I became a fisherman, but couldn't live on my net income.

I was a musician, but I found I wasn't noteworthy.

I then got a job at a workout club, but they said I wasn't fit for the job.

I got a job as a historian, but there was no future in that!

I wanted to become a doctor, but I didn't have any patience.

The old Paths...

If you grew up when we did you will surely identify with the thoughts written here.

I liked the old paths, when
Moms were at home.
Dads were at work.
Brothers went into the army.
And sisters got married BEFORE having children!

Crime did not pay;
Hard work did;
And people knew the difference.

Moms could cook;
Dads would work;
Children would behave..

Husbands were loving;
Wives were supportive;
And children were polite.

Women wore the jewelry;
And Men wore the pants.
Women looked like ladies;
Men looked like gentlemen;
And children looked decent.

People loved the truth,
And hated a lie;
They came to church to get IN,
Not to get OUT!

Hymns sounded Godly;
Sermons sounded helpful;
Rejoicing sounded normal;
And crying sounded sincere.

Cursing was wicked;
Drinking was evil;
and divorce was unthinkable.

The flag was honored;
America was beautiful;
And God was welcome!

We read the Bible in public;
Prayed in school;
And preached from house to house
To be called an American was worth dying for;
To be called a Christian was worth living for;
To be called a traitor was a shame!

Sex was a personal word.
Homosexual was an unheard of word,
And abortion was an illegal word.

Preachers preached because they had a message;
And Christians rejoiced because they had the VICTORY!
Preachers preached from the Bible;
Singers sang from the heart;
And sinners turned to the Lord to be SAVED!

A new birth meant a new life;
Salvation meant a changed life;
Following Christ led to eternal life.

Being a preacher meant you proclaimed the word of God;
Being a deacon meant you would serve the Lord;
Being a Christian meant you would live for Jesus;
And being a sinner meant someone was praying for you!

Laws were based on the Bible;
Homes read the Bible;
And churches taught the Bible.

Preachers were more interested in new converts,
Than new clothes and new cars.
God was worshiped;
Christ was exalted;
and the Holy Spirit was respected.

Church was where you found Christians
on the Lord's day, rather than in the garden,
on the creek bank, on the golf course,
or being entertained somewhere else.

I still like the old paths the best !

Why you should always wear seatbelts!

I will never understand why people would run from cops. Then again, if they were smart, they wouldn't put themselves in a position where they feel like they have to run away from cops.

I don't care much for the video, but i like the song :)
Oh, it is country music.. Yes I do listen to country music. It is very appropriate when driving through corn fields..



Lyrics

We were born to mothers who smoked and drank
Our cribs were covered in lead-based paint
No childproof lids
No seatbelts in cars
Rode bikes with no helmets
and still here we are
Still here we are

We got daddy's belt when we misbehaved
Had three TV channels you got up to change
No video games and no satellite
All we had were friends and they were outside
Playing outside

It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

School always started the same everyday
the pledge of allegiance, then someone would pray
not every kid made the team when they tried
We got disappointed but that was alright

We turned out alright

It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

No bottled water
We'd drink from a garden hose
And every Sunday,
All the stores were closed.

It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

It was a different world

one hundred years ago

The year is 1907, one hundred years ago.....but the speaker knew what he was talking about.


Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag ... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

'nuff said

Cost of Amnesty? - $2.5 trillion

That is how much it would have cost America Tax Payers if the Immigration reform bill would have passed.

I am glad the bill failed miserable. One positive step towards all this is the passport requirement to reenter US. But it won’t help much to curb illegal immigration, since we only have 11 miles of boarder fence so far (at this rate it will take some 20 years to finish).

Your Tax Dollars at work..

Here is the story

I looked up the description for MPAA R-Rating
“Under 17 Requires accompanying parent or adult guardian” In the opinion of the Rating Board, this film definitely contains some adult material. Parents are strongly urged to find out more about this film before they allow their children to accompany them. An R-rated film may include strong language, violence, nudity, drug abuse, other elements, or a combination of the above, so parents are counseled in advance to take this advisory rating very seriously.

The movie is rated R, the kids are about 12. Ergo, the kids should not be allowed to watch the movie without parent or adult guardian. Any responsible parent would abject to this movie for a 12 year old but this teacher obviously did not care what the parent might have to say.

Certain groups of people are indoctrinating our children to accept their values and vision for the future. This is why the involvement of parents is a child life so much more important. This is why school choices are important. This is exactly why we should voice our opinion come November 2nd based on our value and principle, not based on what happened during the previous administration or along party lines.

If some Wicks are Slicks... Part 2

Of course, just like any other liberal, Joseph jumped to conclusion and labeled all college kids as “Crazy” and Also assumed all kids are automatically eligible for carry a concealed weapon.

To answer your question, yes I have been to a college and did earn a degree. It is not the college kids that are crazy, it is the lack of discipline and political correctness that makes you think colleges are crazy. Let me ask you this Joseph, do you also think we never landed on the moon right?

When kids graduate high school and go on to college they think they are grown up and ready for the world. And in fact they are not ready and they don’t even know what real world. The society can not wait to let them loose, live on their own, and make rational decisions etc. And the result, with the new found freedom they party like there is no tomorrow.

Most of the solders that are fighting in Iraq are about the same age as the kids attending college theses days. If you can trust them with gun, why can’t we with some student who are not in Iraq?.. Yes there is a different between a trained soldier and a college student. The difference can easily negated with adequate training. I never suggested putting the gun in a crazy kid. You do a background check, do a psych evaluation and require training before you put a gun in somebody hand.

Guns don’t kill people. A gun is an inanimate object that cannot do anything itself. Gun in the hands of crazies like Cho kills people. Taking guns away from the hands of responsible, law abiding citizens are not the way to reduce gun crime. All you have to do is look at other countries (UK, Canada, Australia) that implemented gun control. Gun crimes went up when guns went away. Why?, because criminals who intend on doing harm will obtain weapons no matter how much controls there are in place. With gun control all you are doing in leaving law abiding citizens defenseless in a situation.

There are examples of guns actually saving lives… But you would not hear those stories on the Crescent News Network (CNN)

Appalachian School of Law in Grundy, Va
Pearl High School, Pearl, Miss

Whenever I've seen one of those "Gun-free Zone" signs, especially outside of a school filled with our youngest and most vulnerable citizens, I've always wondered exactly who these signs are directed at. Obviously, they don't mean much to the sort of man who murdered 32 people just a few days ago. - Fred Thompson (United States senator from Tennessee)

Very Sad Wednesday Indeed..

Sanjaya got booted off American Idol and I missed that long awaited moment. I was too busy changing Omie in the Nursery and couldn’t throw my hands in the air and go YES!!! FINALLY!

Weird feeling of the day: “"He's a teenager, and young girls and guys really like him." - AP Really?. How many “young guys” really like Sanjaya?..

Listen we were talking about vote for the worst at my Bible class (my teacher is a huge american idol fan) and you people are the spawn of satan. you all are stopping melinda dolitle from a million dolars. she is a wonderfull person who cares about everything like God and Jesus and u people are stopping her from winning. sanjaya is a evil satan worshipper who doesnt beleive in God and he will go to hell JUST LIKE YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO GO AWAY AND DONT EVER COME BACK.
-GiveMeUrCat

Ooookkkaaaaayy.. Melinda Dolittle is a Christian, so she should win the title?.. HA!. Don’t get me wrong. Dolittle is my favorite singer this year. And I hope she wins. But this is a singing competition, America gets decide who gets to win. If Sanjaya can last this long, there is no way to say who is gonna win.

Playboy In Braille ?

Playboy In Braille..

When I heard this on Radio, I was absolutely certain that the host was pulling my leg. So I did what any other useless knowledge seeking guy would do. Goggled “wiki Braille playboy”.

And sure enough, The National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) has published a Braille edition of Playboy since 1970. The Braille version includes all the written words in the non-Braille magazine, but no pictorial representations. Congress cut off funding for the Braille magazine translation in 1985, but U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Hogan reversed the decision on First Amendment grounds. -wiki

So in other words, part of your tax money is going to translate playboy and other pervert magazines on first amendment grounds. But you still can’t say God in public. I though free speech and freedom of religion was the same thing.

I am just thinking..

Would 30 students die if one of them were carrying a concealed weapon?

If some Wicks are Slicks

Then all Slicks are wicks?

If I say Islam and terrorist in one sentence that doesn’t mean I said all Muslims are terrorist. I bet there are a few Muslims that would like the psychos among them to stop killing. But the problem is, there is far too many of the bad guys and too few of the good guys.. case in point: PBS dropped 'Islam vs. Islamists' on political grounds

This film has something to do with the good group of Muslims who want to live a good life and condemn the terrorists. But the liberal media do not want to offend the bad ones and in effect have silence the moderates.

When ever somebody who claims to be a Christian (not everybody who goes to church are Christians) commits a murder and suddenly all Christians are evil. But if I say Islamic terrorist, I automatically implied that all Muslims are terrorist. You must have a pretty narrow mind to think that if I don’t agree with you on one issue, I am evil and everything I say is wrong. Well then again, it is typical liberal strategy.. Any and all topics end up with Bush lied, kids died. And you wonder why this country is going down the tubes..

The new breed of terrorists... Conservative Christians

At least in the mind of some school officials they are.. Here is the story


A school in NJ stages a hostage taking scenario so they can prepare themselves in a real situation. That’s is fine; Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. right? What ticks me off is the details..

When you hear this, what comes to your mind?

“The scenario has played out in real life across America: Gunfire echoes through a school and students are held hostage”.

I am thinking Columbine, Jihad, Muslim, Fanatic or Islamic extremists. The last thing that comes to mind is this:

“As members of a right-wing fundamentalist group called the “New Crusaders” who don't believe in separation of church and state. The mock gunmen went to the school seeking justice because the daughter of one had been expelled for praying before class”

And get this “We need to practice under conditions as real as possible in order to evaluate our procedures and plans so that they're as effective as possible.”

You want this thing to be as real as possible? Get a bunch of psycho terrorist with bombs wrapped around their waist, take over the school, and force the girls to wear head scarves. Can’t get any more real than that. But no, that will be insulting to the peace loving religion of Islam! If the police had portrayed the real life scenario of gay terrorists or abortion rights activists upset for any contrived reason you would read about it in every major paper across the United States; and rightfully so because IT WOULD BE RIDICULOUSLY STUPID.

No other group in America would tolerate this kind of religious profiling! This is blatant religious hostility toward people of faith. The school district's mock hostage-taking program TARGETED CHRISTIANS as the perpetrators. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. And the timing couldn’t be perfect, during lent. It has become acceptable to discriminate against Christians with bigoted characterizations that portray them as gun wielding psycho killers.

I am sick and tired of the media and liberals trying to portray the conservative Christians as a threat to this country. Kids from this school who took part in this scenario went home thinking Christians do take over school and hold kids hostage (remember … under conditions as real as possible…).

Now why would a school purposely portray Christians as the bad guys.. here is my theory..

Members of Teachers Unions runs the schools. Unions are fundamentally democrats/liberals. Just look at their contributions. Christians are more likely conservatives/republicans
Conservatives like school choice for kids and teachers unions hate it. Because it takes power away from the unions and put it in the hands of parents. It also means the teachers will actually have to teach and compete against for the kids. So if you paint the Christians as the real threat, which will make them look good. Young impressionable minds are being wasted in public schools and America just sits back and takes it with out thinking twice! We have already forgotten what happened on 9/11/2001. People flocked to churches in record numbers days after 9/11. But soon, we are all back to our pre 9/11 mind set again because we have not been attacked since. Soon we will write off this tragedy from the history books because we do not want to offend the Muslims. Sadly, the left would prefer an attack by Islamic lunatics who cut off heads rather than have the kids see a crucifix. Liberals would appease to the terrorist rather than standing up and fighting for the freedom of this country.

I Just Couldn't Resist!

Human Ingenuity at its best!

Ever wondered how the Stonehenge was erected 4000 years ago?.. This man thinks he has. But more props to this guy, he actually did it proving it is not just a theory, it is so very doable!.

What is wrong wiht this picture..

A LOT I tell ya!..

The mother is 20 years old; the child is in first grade. That makes the girl getting pregnant at 14!

The law thinks the mother is not old enough to drink responsibly, but old enough to rationalize child bearing?

The kid brings the drug for a “show and tell”. The mother actually thinks the 5 year old is responsible enough to take care of his school work with no attention at home?. Oh wait, we are talking about a 20 year old mother. My bad!.

Kids graduate high school and don’t even know how to spell mirror (true story, this 26 year old girl thought it was spelled “mirrow” because that is the way she pronounce it). And we (at least the teachers union) blame under funded schools for dumbing down America. I say blame (mostly) the parents. To some parents, schools are nothing but government funded day care for their kids. They never pay attention to them, don’t help with their homework, never get to know their teachers or friends. And when 14 year old kids come home pregnant, they wonder where they went wrong!. Then, these teenage mothers raise their kids wanting to be their friends rather than a parent (yes, I did say parent and not parents; show me one responsible married teenage couple and I will delete this post and apologize)

The law says you gotta be 21 to vote
The law says you gotta be 21 to drink

Why isn’t there an age limit to be a parent?

My 2 cents on Global Warming

Do I believe global warming is real?
Sure… There is proof that there was an ice age, I am not knee deep in ice, ergo the earth must have warmed up to melt all that ice.

Do I believe global warming significant?
No. Ground-level temperature measurements suggest the earth has warmed between 0.3 and 0.6 degrees Celsius since 1850 (based on 1997 data by NATIONAL CENTER FOR POLICY ANALYSIS. That’s warming. The earth's temperature has increased slightly, but the increase is well within the natural range of known temperature variation over the last 15,000 years.

Is the global warming caused by human activities?
No!. If you look at Vostok-ice-core sample data, you can see that CO2 concentration spiked every 10,000 years or so. The first internal combustion engine was developed (not mass produced) in 1979. The earliest mention of American petroleum occurs not until 1595. Lets us go back as far as the time of Herodotus (~ 500 BC) where something similar to crude oil is mentioned in history. And then take 2500 years of the data from Vostok-ice-core data to take any petroleum based atmospheric emissions out of the equation. You will still see CO2 (one of the main green house gas) went up, the temperature went up and with no human intervention both components came down. We know from the Vostok-ice-core date that the cycle has been continuing for at least four hundred thousand years. So even if we shut down all human progress, stop using all fuel usage, and revert to Stone Age, we will still have global warming.

So why is Global Warming an issue?
Just imagine how much money revolves around global warming. Al Gore’s movie made over $31,478,021 to date. (And he is also nominated for a Nobel Peace Price, Surprised? And what are the chances he is not going to win it among all the scandal on his hypocrisy) On top of that Al gore made millions in speaking engagements & books, and other loyalties. US government spends 400 billion a year on global warming related research and technology and the funding is only going to increase over time. World wide, millions of people depend on war against global warming for their lively hood. If the issue goes away, lot of jobs and money goes with it. It is in their best interest to keep the issue alive for their livelihood. In the process, they make it so that anybody who talk against it is considered evil or in cahoots with the evil oil corporations.

It is easier to believe what we see on TV and not think twice about it. And politicians depends it. Just like a car salesman hates and educated consumer, politicians hate an educated constituent. The great concern of many that we are ruining the planet is nothing but ideology to fatten their pockets. Image a world where people believe in something because they find it to be moral and the right thing to do (hey, a man can dream; can’t he?)

I do know this world is finite. And so are the resources within. If we trash this planet, we will suffer the consequences. Humans are the dominant species on Earth and the most advanced in intelligence and ability to manage their environment. We got where we are by questioning our own believes and transforming those questions into practical theories and workable solutions. But the fact that fewer people ask questions and bother to find the right answers may be the demise of human kind after all.


The Great Global Warming Swindle

Global Warming Myth Lecture CTH Stink Test

Junk Science: Global Warming Myth Busted

Follow the Money, and Ye shall find the truth!

When ever somebody is telling you “Believe Me”, Don’t! Unless it is coming from somebody who has nothing to gain by what ever they are telling you.

Case in Point: Al Gore and Global Warming!

• In the movie “An Inconvenient Truth” Al Gore describes the consequences he believes global climate change will produce if the amount of human-generated greenhouse gases is not significantly reduced in the very near future. The way we are to reduce global warming is reduce our carbon foot print [THE CONVENIENT LIE]

• Recently, after Al Gore won the Oscar for best Documentary, It was reported that Al Gore’s electricity usage was 20 times the national average. [THE MINOR HYPOCRISY]
• It was later reported that Al Gore buys "carbon offsets" to compensate for his home's use of energy from carbon-based fuels. Gore buys his carbon offsets through Generation Investment Management (GIM)[THE MONEY TRAIL BEGINS]

• Turns out Al Gore is the Chairman of the US branch of the firm GIM and makes a profit as the company makes profit. So he is paying him self by purchasing the carbon offsets from a company he chairs. [SHORT MONEY TRAIL ENDS BACK IN GORE’S POCKET]

But the hypocrisy doesn’t end there. GIM was specifically established to take financial advantage of new technologies and solutions related to combating Global Warming [THE MAJOR HYPOCRISY].

Here is scenario: I come to you house and make you believe that your basement will flood and the damage will be irreversible in five months if you do not excavate around the house and water proof your basement now. But don’t worry; there is a company that can do the job for you (Jake’s Basement Repair). If you don’t think it is necessary, here is the list of 20 people that agrees with me. You really don’t have time to think about it, start the work now.

Things are not always obvious. Al-Gore is not dumb. He is a very smart man. He has you, me and the rest of the world trying to invest more money in alternate energy by professing the doom, gloom & Armageddon; while he sits back and enjoy the millions, if not billions in profits from “financial advantage of new technologies and solutions related to combating Global Warming”

Take that Al-Gore!..

My Energy provider has a web tool I can use to calculate my energy usage at home. And look at that, I pay about $1,100 less in energy cost than most of the similar homes in the area. Your energy provider might have similar tools that you can use to calculate energy usage and tips on how to reduce cost.

If you have not heard, in his documentary (An Inconvenient Truth, collected an Oscar for best documentary feature), the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home. Gore’s mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity EVERY MONTH than the average American household uses in an ENTIRE YEAR (In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006).

Al Gore’s response is that he buys carbon credits to offset his pollution. Let’s try to apply this logic to a diet. You and I go on a diet, we both buy food, but I buy the food from you and eat twice as much. But that’s okay, because you didn’t eat when I ate your food!.

The Al Gore debacle reminds me of old practice of Catholic Dispensation. Pay a fee to a Priest in The Church Of Global Warming, and continue polluting, free of guilt, without worry of purgatory...

I am in no way an environmentalist and do not buy into the gloom and doom future they predict. When they start accurately predict weather three weeks into the future, I will start paying attention to what they have to say about 30 to 150 years into the future. Until then, to me, this is all a pointless exercise to instill fear in peoples mind.

Do not think I don’t care about the environment. I don’t pour engine oil down the drain or over fertilize my lawn. But I do care more about my bottom line. And I have measures at home to drastically reduce energy bills. For example, our homeowner’s association requires all houses in the development to have two lights outside the garage that go on at sunset and go off in morning. One of the first things I did was to change the 60W incandescent lamps to 13W compact fluorescent lamps. That change alone saved me $34 per year in energy cost. Not to mention the money saved by the extended life on the fluorescent lamps. Change all the interior bulbs, add a programmable thermostat, opt for energy star appliances and voilà, upwards of 1k in annual savings.

Calculate how much you can save by switching to fluorescent!

First Amendment rights or vandalism?

During last Saturday's Washington rally protesting the war in Iraq, hundreds of anti-war protesters were allowed to desecrate government property by spray painting the Capitol with anarchist symbols.

That is right! “ALLOWED”.

“Chief Phillip Morse ordered his officers to fall back and allow the protesters to exercise what he called "their First Amendment rights" to spray paint the Capitol steps with graffiti.”

Since when is desecration of public property equates to exercising first amendment rights?. And where is the new media coverage?. I bet if this protest was against how the new minimum wage is affecting small businesses, their actions will be on front page an all major news papers. But anything the anti protesters do is fair game, including beating up others who are supporters for the troop in Iraq.

And anybody who would dare question Chief Phillip Morse actions will surely face the wrath of media!
